SCHED the Mighty SXSW Scheduler (or The App I Built In 5 Days)
- deleted 19y ago[deleted]
- alaskamiller 19y agothe user/pass nag thing is kind of annoying but this is a very cool implementation of a quick and simple scheduling app. in fact, use the berkeley schedule for the data backend and i would switch to using this over the other hacked together schedulers available. ps. i <3 hypem
- chime 19y agoI just disabled the alert that said "Please enter a username and password above first" when you clicked on an event without logging in. Now it just shows the event details. The signup process is extremely simple. Type in a username, enter a password and it creates an account. I'm the first one to complain about needless signups but to make your own schedule and have it printable in a decent format, signing up is pretty much the best solution. I just setup iCal export for your selected sched.org events. My username is 'chirag' so my schedule will be http://sched.org/sxsw2008/chirag http://sched.org/sxsw2008/chirag and iCal URL will be http://sched.org/sxsw2008/chirag.ical http://sched.org/sxsw2008/chirag.ical If you use Google Calendar, you can import this directly. This is a very specific tool with a narrow market/target-audience and not meant to replace anything general like Google Calendar or Eventful.
- alaskamiller 19y agoAs for usage, what I meant was at Berkeley a student made a homebrew app to help organize class schedules. This is the database: http://schedule.berkeley.edu/ http://schedule.berkeley.edu/ This is the app: http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~amanb/makeSched/ http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~amanb/makeSched/ Your app is the perfect interface if it can hook into the Berkeley schedule database.
- clay 19y agoThis is brilliant. This will be really handy for me, thanks.
- jamesbritt 19y agoI know a few people from Phoenix who will be presenting at SXSW. I searched on some names, and got no hits. Is this handling just a sub-set of all of SXSW? Are names not searchable? Oh, and is there source code one can glom? :) It looks really sweet.
- chime 19y agoI just added panelist info to the db. The search currently only searches the event name and venues. I'll see if I can make it search panelists and the detailed description without putting too much pressure on the tiny server.
- chime 19y agoYou can now search for specific panelists.
- jamesbritt 19y agoGreat, thank you very much.
- dfranke 19y agoWhat's SXSW? When I read "scheduler" I started trying to parse it as a locking scheme. "Shared eXclusive Shared Write? WTF does that mean?"
